Feeling Lost (alien.top)

I've worked at a marketing agency for the past 4 years as a project manager. I have a degree in marketing and finance. I'm struggling with finding meaning and purpose behind my work and I'm feeling a strong pull towards creating something that encompasses my true passions and interests (for example - Community, music, artistic expression, knowledge sharing and self improvement). I could see entrepreneurship as a long and winding path forward to more fulfillment and alignment with my values.

Curious if others have found themselves in a similar situation and what you did to align your work with your values. Were there any exercises or resources you utilized to give yourself some direction while navigating this landscape / defining the scope of the business you were looking to start?

This is broad but any suggestions or comments are much appreciated.

I was an accountant at a smallish firm. Enjoyed the work and my colleagues but felt unfulfilled churning out accounts and tax returns.

Found a local charity and started doing accounts and finance for them.

About to start a business with my wife providing accounting and business advice to small charities.

Sometimes you don't need to completely change track to find fulfillment but just ply your current skills in a more fulfilling sector.
